Timothy Grass Seed

Variety: Climax

Plant 10 - 15 Lbs. per Acre

Timothy is a bunchgrass that grows 2-4 feet tall. It grows best in cooler climates. Timothy is used primarily as a hay crop. When planted in the majority of Tennessee conditions, summer droughts cause stand reduction. Stands are not expected to last more than 3-4 years. It is a popular hay crop for horses, although orchardgrass and tall fescue can also be used successfully.

Timothy was introduced to North America by seed carried from Europe by early settlers in hay, litter, manure and ballast cleaned from ships. It was found growing in New Hampshire in about 1711 and was named "herdsgrass". It was first given the name timothy in 1747 and soon became an adapted, high-quality hay plant. It spread from New England into eastern Canada before 1800, and then westward as the country was settled.

Description

Timothy is a rapidly-developing, short-lived, perennial bunchgrass with shallow, fibrous roots extending downward to about 4 feet. Its crown consists of a group of bulb-like sections called corms. These produce a mass of basal leaves and usually one leafy stem of 20 to 40 inches that ends in a seed head. All leaves are soft, light green and 2 to 6 inches long. The single seed is small and is enclosed in an awned, urn-shaped husk. Individual timothy shoots are typically biennial, but the plant maintains itself as a perennial through the development and growth of new shoots from bases of older culms.

Adaptation

Timothy volunteers readily and is adapted to the cooler, moister areas of Montana, especially the poorly-drained alluvial soils, where it grows vigorously. As it is very tolerant of acidity, withstands some spring flooding and does well on waterlogged soils, it is well suited for use in low-lying, peaty areas. Timothy also thrives on clay, silt and sandy soils in cool climate regions with precipitation greater than 15 inches per year. It is winterhardy, persistent and fairly free from problems caused by insects, diseases and other pests. It is widely adapted and can be grown successfully under a wide range of soil and climatic conditions. Timothy is hardy at elevations up to 9,000 feet. Timothy survives a few weeks of flooding during the winter, but only a few days in the growing season. Seedling vigor is good and stand establishment usually is rapid. It ranks high in productivity among the grasses.

Use for Hay

Timothy is well suited to hay production, and timothy hay is especially desirable for the horse hay market. Growth is erect, easy to harvest and a full yield is normally possible in the first production year after seeding. Because of its bunch growth habit, it is less competitive for nutrients when grown in mixtures with legumes. Bunch growth also allows for alternate-row seeding which makes it ideal for mixtures with alsike and red clover and, in some cases, it is preferred for use with alfalfa.

Its main drawback is the serious loss of quality (protein) experienced if it is not harvested for hay before the bloom stage. Growing timothy in mixtures with legumes and harvesting early will overcome this problem. Although timothy is fairly tolerant of low fertility, the application of fertilizer, especially nitrogen, increases both yield and protein.

Timothy has been the standard hay for horses. When cut in full bloom, its high energy and low protein content were ideal for working stock. Its popularity is due to the fact that the grass seldom lodges, and is easily cured into bright, clean hay that is free from dust or mold and which can be handled with little waste.

Use for Pasture

Where adapted, timothy is commonly used for pastures. Spring growth is not too early although yield and palatability are very high. Leafy shoots are of excellent quality. Like smooth bromegrass, however, the main growth occurs in early summer and the tall shoots are easily overgrazed. Pasture rotation is critical and a much greater area is required after mid-July to compensate for decreased growth rate.

This grass is palatable to cattle and horses at all stages of growth. Deer and elk appear to only graze mature timothy plants after other grasses have been used. As a pasture plant, it is relatively short-lived and stands are soon depleted unless provision is made for natural or artificial reseeding. It produces an open sod that is easily weakened if heavily grazed.

Seeding

Timothy is recommended to be planted at a rate of 10 - 15 lbs per acre.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect for My Suit-Loving 9-Year-Old 🤍👔✨
My 9-year-old is obsessed with suits, and this one was a total win! 😍 The 3-piece set (blazer, vest, and pants) makes him feel so grown-up and confident. The linen material is lightweight and breathable, which is perfect for warm weather ☀️ — and it doesn’t wrinkle easily, which I appreciate as a parent 🙌. He loves that he can wear it different ways — full suit, just vest and pants, or blazer and pants. 👌 The fit looks sharp, and the adjustable waist is super helpful. Perfect for weddings, school events, church, or any time he wants to dress to impress. 💙 Definitely a favorite in our house! 🎉

Adorable special occasion suit for boys
Size: 5, Color: Light Blue, Size: 5, Color: Light Blue
I ordered this 3-piece suit for my son and even though it’s currently a little too big for him, I couldn’t resist keeping it because it’s absolutely adorable! The quality really impressed me right out of the package. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which will be perfect for warmer weather, and it has a nice polished look without feeling stiff. The set comes with a blazer, vest, and pants, and each piece is very well made. I love the little details like the lapel on the jacket, the adjustable strap on the vest, and the adjustable waist on the pants, which will definitely help as he grows. It looks like a much more expensive suit than it actually is. Even though my son will have to grow into it, I’m already excited for him to wear it. I’m thinking it will be perfect for Easter next year or any special occasion. It’s such a cute outfit, and I love that the pieces can be mixed and matched for different looks. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and can’t wait to see him wearing it! The blue color goes well for any occasion and I may have to order my husband a suit in matching shade of blue so they can be twins. The size looks accurate for boys 5T. I took a picture to show the pants next to a pair of unwashed Oshkosh B’Gosh brand straight leg 5T boys denim jeans.
